yum through proxy

I found that there a few hiccups getting yum to play nice thru a proxy. Best solution is to create the following files in /etc/profile.d, and then this will work in *any* shell for *any* user of the system


#proxy.sh
export http_proxy=http://host.com:port/
export ftp_proxy=http://host.com:port/
export no_proxy=.domain.com
export HTTP_PROXY=http://host.com:port/
export FTP_PROXY=http://host.com:port/

#proxy.csh
setenv http_proxy http://host.com:port/
setenv ftp_proxy http://host.com:port/
setenv no_proxy .domain.com
setenv HTTP_PROXY http://host.com:port/
setenv FTP_PROXY http://host.com:port/


If you have to authenticate I think it goes like this:

http_proxy=http://user:passwd@host.com:portnumber

I haven't had to do this yet so I can't say for sure.
